With immigration reform stuck in a legislative netherworld Democrats are changing their approach to the issue, on messaging if not policy. As POLITICO's Carrie Budoff Brown reports, "Long pilloried for being soft on illegal immigration, top Democratic officials have concluded there’s only one way they can hope to pass a comprehensive immigration bill: Talk more like Republicans."
Will this be an effective approach? Will it alienate Latino voters? Does this shift in tactics demonstrate that Republicans have the upper hand on the immigration issue?
